The Prince of the Underground

A blinding, naive light pierces the soul, possessing a devotion so pure it becomes a curse. This same heart harbours a shadow, driven by a raw, consuming passion that threatens to destroy everything it touches.

These contradictory forces are locked in a silent, desperate duel. Within the suffocating silence of an inherited house, the internal conflict converges upon a prize that can be desired but never truly possessed. As the path narrows, the line between innocence and madness blurs, revealing the terrifying truth.

Emergence Festival 2026

Emergence is a festival of new work from the graduating artists of the MFA Acting/Directing Classical and Contemporary Text programme.

Emergence 2026 will include a range of provocative live performances and gripping short films presented across four days in January, returning to Glasgow’s iconic Centre for Contemporary Arts and surrounding venues.

These creative projects are the result of what can happen when artists are given a small budget and autonomy to respond to the provocation: what is the future of theatre and film?
